Controversial opinion This belt is fantastic for appendix carry but it is just as good if not better for 5 o’clock carry I carry every day canceled as a full-time mechanic, I needed this

I've had my T1C AGIS ELITE now for 6 months and I love it! The absolute best rig for IWB Appendix carry I've ever tried. Super comfortable and the adjustability of this rig is outstanding! The craftsmanship is Tier 1!! Top Notch! I also got the T1C X Kore EDC belt and this is the pair to draw to!! You won't be disappointed!!

Let’s just say this. If something like a holster could be attractive, curvy, thick but in just the right places this would be it..! A perfect fit and form but also adjustable if you needed. Something I’m proud to claim and call mine..!!!

I love it is extremely comfortable and easy to access I love the fact that I am able to Adjust it to fit me I was looking for a good Concealment holster and was watching war poet he has a Vedic on these so I figured I would give it a try totally satisfied

So in my 20+ year's of shooting primarily rifles. Recent changes within society had pushed me to finally purchase a handgun for concealed carry. Like with anything that I know I'll be using for a long time. I do a HEFTY amount of research before buying (quality>quantity). After about 4 months worth of reading post's & video reviews. I decided on T1C for my 1st IWB holster. I choose the Axis Elite in cf finish w\ royal blue cord to match my edc Streamlight. After a 25 day wait time, it finally a...

Great hostler! Just yesterday I took a 3 1/2 hour drive up and back wearing it the whole time. Couldn’t even tell it was there really. Having the Kores belt really helps stay comfortable on long trips. Glad I spent the money for the AXIS Slim.

Major shout out to tier 1 concealment, for custom making the axis slim holster for my Fn 509 compact tactical. With a stream light tlr7a everything fits like a glove! Can’t be thankful enough

I just got my CCW and purchased a Gen 5 Glock 19 with a Axis Slim AIWB holster. It is the perfect combo of I say so myself. Thanks Tier1Concealed for making it special. It Rocks!

My second holster from Tier 1 concealed! Love it, this is Avis elite but I own Avis Slim they are both super comfortable even with Glock 19. I also bought wedge pack and highly recommend them. I have a dresser drawer full of cheaper holsters such a waste of money,

I love this holster! Super comfortable, especially with the wedge pack! I couldn't be happier with a holster. I can wear it all day long with little to no discomfort! Tier 1 rules!

The T1C Axis Elite AIWB holster arrived to perfectly fit my handgun and magazine. I noticed that the edge work and other details of the holster were given full attention. The shock cord between the mag and gun sides provides the right amount of flex and mobility when wearing the holster to provide extra comfort. I have a similar holster that is just solid index and it is clearly more rigid and not nearly as form fitting to my belt line area. I am impressed how easily the clips latch onto my belt...

Honestly, this holster changed my opinion of appendix carry. Although I am not super overweight there is no denying that i have a gut. Carrying appendix even with small guns has always been uncomfortable, but I feel so much more secure carrying there knowing I’m not showing off my gun and no one is going to snatch it off my side. This holster is my first t1c. I’m using it to carry a 43x with rmr and another 15 round mag next to it. Even with a gut I could wear this setup all day long. Not knowi...

This is by far the best holster I've ever bought! And I've bought my fair share before finding Tier1. And as an added bonus when I had questions, their customer service was very helpful and on top of things.

The holster fits perfectly with my gun. I have a Smith and Wesson m&p shield. The slides in and locking in place for a tight hold. But it is also easy to get out and use quickly. I'll wear them around the house to get more comfortable with it and I forget it's there sometimes. I love this product and I highly recommend it for other gun owners.

Jess H.

I haven't ever carried appendix. I was always a 7-8 o'clock guy. I decided to pull my shirt down every 3 seconds and printing like crazy was for the dogs. I will be honest it is really weird carrying like this for the 1st day. Afterward, I only notice it sometimes if I have to sit straight up and down. it is very comfortable and I cannot even think about going back to an OWB carry ever again.

AXIS SLIM

Richard R.

I am very pleased with this product and will be ordering one for each of my firearms. It is extremely comfortable for being an appendix carry holster and it conceals very well. The price is well reflected in the superb quality.

Love these holsters. This is the fourth T1C axis I’ve bought and I don’t see myself ever going with another holster. Tried many but this is the end all be all when it comes to aiwb carry. Can’t recommend enough

This is the best holster I have ever tried! It is very modular and adjustable amd comfortable to wear. The retention is great on both the gun and the mag. I almost forget that i have it on.

Heard about these holsters through John Lovell and wow, it has been fantastic to say the least. My Axis Slim is comfortable and concealing. Such a quality product! EDC: S&W M&P 2.0 Compact

Still working on my CCW but I’ve been practicing my draw and reloads (with snap caps of course) around the house. I was surprised how light and skinny the holster was. Still working on my tactile shelf but even with the belly it’s super comfortable. Very happy and would definitely purchase again.

The Axis Slim is top shelf, no rough edges of any kind fit and finish is Great. This is my first appendix holster - wore it for 6 hours my first time out with no issues. I’m in decent shape so there’s no problem with the tactical guy.

I've been carrying a long time (16 years) and have come to love Crossbreed Holsters as my main go to. The thing is, most of their AIWB options just don't work well for me. This T1C holster on the other hand, pure genius! I use Ulti-Clips with mine so I can get a good amount of waist retention regardless of what I'm wearing. Even when I'm wearing board shorts (no belt obviously) and a T-Shirt, I can carry a G19 comfortably and not have to worry about printing. I love the magazine retention too. I...

Very satisfied with this holster for the Springfield Hellcat! The UltiClips are great and I can easily wear this holster without a belt. The wedge pack definitely helps to conceal the firearm and overall, the holster is very comfortable and is the perfect solution for gym shorts and my active lifestyle.

Just received my 2nd Echo Holster. This time with threaded barrel cut. I've been carrying with the first one since March of 2022 and it's amazing. Exceptional comfort and retention. Easy on and off. Stable. New one is just as good if not better.

Frank K.

This holster exceeded my expectations. I can comfortably conceal my Beretta 92x compact with minimal to no printing at all depending on what I’m wearing, and Berettas are no small handguns. I prefer strong side carry and I’m very happy tier1 had this offering. I’d definitely buy another T1 echo based on this first purchase, and I’d even reconsider appendix in future given the quality of these holsters.

Awesome rig for my 509c, my edc rides in it at work everyday in the hvac trade. Very comfortable when seated, I’m 6’6 275lbs and very muscular and it is comfortable for even someone my size. Highly recommended.

This is my second tier 1 holster! I recently upgraded my EDC and decided to go with the xiphos elite. My 1st holster is the axis slim for my P365. I also purchased the msp magazine to have the option ti carry additional magazine. Upgrading the size of my EDC i wanted to reduce the size of the holster but not necessarily lose additional magazine. Its worth every penny!

WOW! Just wow! I have been concealing a firearm off and on for nearly 2 decades. Last year I finally decided to upgrade my cheap IWB cloth holster. I did a bunch of research and it’s like there are two diehard groups. Leather and Kydex. Both groups swear by their choice and end their reviews with, “well, it’s ultimately up to the person wearing the holster on whether leather (or Kydex) is right for you.” It seems like you just can’t get a straight answer. After a bunch of research I finally deci...

I received my holster in time to take on vacation with me in the U.P. MI. Top notch work on this holster for my Glock 20. Gun Fits great and I’m looking forward to many years of use with it. Holster rides nice and conceals extremely well for full size Glock. Comfort was a concern for IWB full size, but it’s just as comfortable in my opinion as any sub-compact I carry. This will not be my last holster I buy from Tier 1. And get the discreet carry clips.

I had doubts that this type of holster wouldn’t be comfortable because of my body type but I wanted to try it out anyways and see if I liked it, a complete blind buy. And holy smokes!!!! This holster is more comfortable than most of the holsters I have and this is my first sidecar holster! I got this holster for a Glock 17 with tlr-1 but I only have a Glock 47 and 45 and they fit this holster perfectly. It conceals well with my body type. At 5’5 and 200+ lbs (short and fat), this holster is more...

First time owner of an AIWB holster. Been carrying professionally since 1980s, but never carried appendix. I wanted to try this carry method due to its advantages. I studied both the pros and cons, and especially as a bigger guy (6’5” 280) I wanted to make sure I didn’t set myself up for failure. All roads led to Tier 1 Concealed as the premier holster manufacturer for appendix holsters. All roads once again led to the Axis Elite. Configuration during the ordering process was straig...

My Staccato XC’s new best friend. Never in my wildest dreams have I ever had thought that I could carry a XC. What a gem dude. This is the perfect holster! It’s a modular appendix rig that makes everything else a joke. It must have taken me a hour of tinkering to find the perfect setup but when I say the perfect setup I mean it. The axis elite was comfortable but this rig is honestly now perfect for me! I like that they added the rivets for a second clip too. Now I can drop the mag carrier all t...

Best appendix EDC belt. No more low back pain while driving! If you’re anything like me, you know the pain that can occur in the low back while driving or sitting for longer than 20 minutes from the belt digging into you. This belt solves that! Nice comfortable (yet strong) elastic band in the back, but rigid belt in the front. And the super slim hook-style “buckle” is perfect. Definitely recommend this belt.

"A $200 holster?!" Absolutely! I'm soooo very pleased with this T1C Axis Elite made for my Hellcat RDP w/ a TLR-7sub... perfect. Exactly what I wanted... I was also very impressed with T1C's customer service pre-sale. I emailed with a bunch of questions (prob too many.. ha) and they answered each query within minutes. Wow. I've used other "dinosaur-branded" Sidecar-style holsters a lot in the past for AIWB, and am super glad I decided to try T1C's! Totally worth it! I'll be getting mo...

I absolutely love the new APX holster. T1C always has superb fit and finish. The fit and finish is second to none. The little attention to details that most companies miss out on is what makes them superior in my opinion. The fact that they had molds for my gun is what made me choose them in the first place and I'm glad I did. The p365 xmacro comp is such a great carry gun especially paired with the tlr7a. It fits like a dream in all their holsters and has excellent retention.

Hello All, Wanted to say that this is my second holster from Tier 1 and it's great. I am about 6'2 290lbs on a good day and this conceals perfect. I do have a stomach but with these holsters, I can carry a full-size Walther PDP or a Glock 43X MOS with ease.

This is my second holster from T1C and again what a great product. If anyone is ever looking for a quality holster and you’re looking on this website then just choose your gun make and model cause you’re at the right place already. Thanks again T1C for an other great product, look forward to getting a third. Great job. Keep up the fantastic work!

Winner. 10/10. Hands down the most comfortable and concealable appendix rig there is. This is perfect for sitting, standing, lounging, driving a car, and riding my motorcycle every day. Spend the money, cry once and never cry again, because this will be the last appendix holster you ever buy.

Very happy with this holster! I’ve never carried a side car holster before and always thought it was to big and bulky until I decided to buy this one and it is my favorite holster now. It conceals extremely well and its very comfortable to wear. Definitely worth the money for a quality piece of gear! Fits my g26 perfectly!

Tier 1 hands down makes the most comfortable holster I have ever worn! The Agis Elite is amazing in that it unbuttons and separates the holster from the mag holder if you chose to do so. Craftsmanship is amazing and the ability to make adjustments to height and cant through the clips is great. You can even put both clips on the holster if you chose to set it up that way. Customer service is amazingly responsive to emails and goes above and beyond to help. I am a customer for life!!
